that setting was already btrfs, but that drive didnt do it until you told me to click a disk #,  i clicked disk # and changed it

 

So next time i put in a drive, put it in case, unraid sees it an puts it in UD, i mount drive, then put it into a disk position, click disk #, anmd make fs btrfs, then i start array ? and unraid does the rest ?

 

one last question

Because it was set to xfs, default is auto.

No, you don't need to do anything with UD, just assign it to an array slot, start the array, disk will be cleared (unless it was precleared already) and then you can format.

should i stop parity check.?

 

stop array, take all disks outta position, they go into UD, then break partitions, mount them , then put into disk positions, then start array and let unraid take over ?

Now might as well let it finish, but if/when you add a new disk do it the correct way.

Thank You for all your help.

You're welcome.

Now i unmounted disk 3, the first movie drive, made movie share for disk 3 and 4. Stooped array, share didnt come up on disk 4, stopped array, restarted, still no share on disk 4.

Rebooted unraid, still no share, stopped array, unmounted disk 3, 11.3 tb full, couldnt start array grayed out button. re mounted disk 3, started array, NOW disk 3 error, under main disk array says " Unmountable : NO file system". Its a 12tb drive with 11.3tb FULL

Now my only option is to format it again according to unraid.

This is why i did everything in UD on v6.8.0, didnt have these problems.

 

WTF ??

Don't really understand what you ere trying to do, but please post diags.

 

P.S. about to go log out for the rest of the day, might only reply tomorrow.

copied 12 tb thru network onto unraid movie share. put share on 1 drive at a time, and didnt work. so i did what i said up there ^ so i could continuecoping movies to movie share but on a different drive.

 

Does anyone else answer here ?
